SUSE Cloud includes components of SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension, the most complete open source clustering solution. Proven in data centers around the world, SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension helps enterprises protect mission-critical workloads running on x86 servers. With SUSE Cloud, administrators can eliminate service failures due to downtime of the private cloud's control plane and ensure continuous access to the resources the line of business needs to maintain agility. Deployment and configuration is automated through integration in the SUSE Cloud Administration Server, which provides a Crowbar project-based framework for installing and managing the physical cloud infrastructure.
"The implementation of a private cloud is one of our ongoing strategic priorities," said Matthias Braun, head of department SAP delivery at FIS-ASP, a full-service provider of SAP applications. "After a proof of concept for an implementation of SUSE Cloud to deliver SAP services from the cloud, we are impressed with the capabilities of SUSE Cloud to meet our need for an easy-to-set-up, flexible and secure hosting platform. High availability is one of the key expectations of our customers. The addition of these capabilities to SUSE Cloud only enhances our view of the product."
